Do I Have the Strength For This?

Do I have the strength for this?
Do I have the love for this?
Imagining yours, her tender kiss
Finding out relatives also have shared in this
No matter how long ago it may have taken place
Still I feel pain when I look in their face.
I feel if I put a stop to the poison right now
I will surely lose her though I don’t know how
And if I let it continue on
I will still lose her
Another Heartache is born.
